For pets that truly thrive on meat, Instinct Ultimate Protein delivers the highest levels of protein from real meat among premium natural pet food brands. This collection brings together Instinct's Ultimate Protein recipes for cats and dogs — grain-free kibble built to satisfy the carnivore in every pet with exceptional, animal-based protein.
Ultimate Protein is made for pets that do best on protein-dense nutrition, packing in real animal protein as the overwhelming first ingredient. Built around cage-free chicken and other responsibly sourced meats, each recipe is designed to maximize the protein that comes from real meat rather than plants, so your pet gets the biologically appropriate fuel they're built for.
Every Ultimate Protein recipe leads with real meat and pairs it with non-GMO fruits and vegetables for natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. There's no grain, corn, wheat, soy, potato, by-product meal, carrageenan, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives — ever — just clean, high-protein nutrition with nothing to dilute the meat content.
High-protein, meat-rich nutrition supports lean muscle, a healthy body condition, a shiny coat, healthy skin, and strong, steady energy. For active pets, growing pets, and any cat or dog that simply thrives on more protein, Ultimate Protein concentrates the nutrition that matters into every bowl.
Because protein comes overwhelmingly from real animal sources rather than plant fillers, Ultimate Protein closely reflects the meat-rich diet cats and dogs evolved to eat. It's a standout choice for pet parents who want to maximize real-meat content without moving to a fully raw or fresh diet.
Ultimate Protein is available for both cats and dogs, so multi-pet households can feed the same high-protein philosophy across the home. Choose the species-appropriate recipe for each pet, and rotate proteins where available to keep mealtime varied and satisfying.
For even more raw, top Ultimate Protein kibble with freeze-dried Raw Boost Mixers or a pour of bone broth. The protein-dense, grain-free base is an ideal foundation for a meat-rich, raw-inspired routine tailored to your pet.
